Current trends in open and nonequilibrium quantum optical systems

From early on, quantum optics distinguished itself from other quantum disciplines for dealing with systems out of equilibrium (e.g., driven by lasers) that exchange energy and information with their environments. Hence, it has always been at the forefront in the field of open and nonequilibrium quantum systems. The significant theoretical and experimental achievements of the last decades, together with the promise of revolutionary quantum technologies (which will be implemented in quantum optical settings ultimately described as open and nonequilibrium systems), have put this field in the spotlight. By now, it has turned into a broad collection of different disciplines ranging from the most abstract to the most practical, and gathering physicists, mathematicians, engineers, computer scientists, etc.

This workshop aims at bringing the community together, and intends to gather a representation of all these broad range of disciplines that synergistically make up modern quantum optics. The list of topics includes, but is not restricted to:

Registration Information:
Registration is free of charge, but the number of spots is limited. Hence we encourage you to register as soon as possible by sending an email to Gesine Murphy with the following information:

1) Full Name2) Institution3) Do you want to apply for a talk? (deadline Sunday, May 13)
We have a few slots available for contributed talks. Provide a title and abstract (length and style at your discretion, but below two pages), or refer to your published article or preprint.4) Will you be presenting a poster? All participants are welcome to do so (unlimited number).

Applicants for contributed talks will be informed of the outcome by Wednesday, May 16. Registration will stay open until Friday, June 22.

All lunches and Monday’s dinner are included.

Accommodation options:While you can find several options for hotels or short-term rentals in the usual sites, here are a few hotel recommendations that can help you:AB Hotel(very reasonably priced)Hotel König Humbert (also reasonably priced)Hotel Brasserie

Directions:You can find here the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light. It is in the south campus of Erlangen, about 30-40 minutes walk from the city center, but easy to reach by bus or bike.
In order to find the best routes and bus schedules, we recommend downloading the VGN app for public transportation in the Erlangen/Nuremberg area. Google Maps usually does a good job too, although the bus schedules might not be updated, so combine it with the VGN app.
